New Tube Amp Repair shop - Marshall head and Silver Fender Vibrolux pics
I was driving yesterday and noticed a new tube amp repair shop opened up a few blocks from my house, and there was a Marshall head in the storefront that caught my eye. I rode my bike up to it this morning and took some pics of a couple cool amps in the storefront. I'll stop back by later today and find out the details of the vibrolux and how much he wants for it. I think I like it.
I think it's a '68. The '07 price guide has these at $1,200-$1,500. I hope he will take less...

That vibrolux is not a 1968. It's made after 1970 as evidenced by the speaker grille frame that's separate from the baffle. '68 and '69 amps had the integrated baffle/grille like the BF amps and a drip edge around the grille.
I'd say that one is between '70 and '74.

Cool-looking Marshall, I would've guessed JMP but they're both fine amps.
The SFVR looks pretty much like mine which is a '71. Also good amps, I'm not the only guy here who uses one.
But what I'm really interested in is what's sitting behind the SFVR .. is it a brownface Concert?

It's just a baffle board and grill cloth... nothing else cool. a BF concert would have been sweet.mezcalhead wrote: Cool-looking Marshall, I would've guessed JMP but they're both fine amps.

The Marshall sure looks like a JMP to me...

yep, definitely a JMP. It also says JMP on the side of the chassis

Any chance you can get pics of the other stuff in the window? I'm particularly interested in seeing the angled cab that looks like a Watkins Dominator that directly to the left of the Marshall 4x12 under the JMP head.

Cool... thanks for the pics! Looks like a custom made dominator type cab. You should find out more about that for me once you go in while it's open.
